Su Ziyu has a golden hourglass of time. Every time the sand runs out, Su will be transported to a different world.

Before time travel, Su Mu worked as a reservoir guard. Life was easy—stable benefits, daily fishing, and not a care in the world. Until one day, during a wild fishing trip, he accidentally touched a high-voltage line... And woke up in another world. After time travel, am I still guarding a reservoir? Wait—this doesn’t look like a reservoir at all?! It's the River of Time.

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger.

Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.
